It maps routes, controllers, services, models, jobs, events, Artisan commands, and more as colored nodes with directional arrows. Key features include an AI context export (copying structured Markdown snapshots for LLM input), AI rules file generation for seven coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), route stress testing with live graph animation, and fat-class detection for complexity hotspots. The graph is served at \`/\_laravel-brain\` with no separate deployment needed. 153 12 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/laravel-paper-a-flat-file-eloquent-driver-de8wq2vd3 "Laravel Paper: A Flat-File Eloquent Driver") Article Laravel News · 16w Laravel Paper: A Flat-File Eloquent Driver Laravel Paper is a package that lets you use Markdown and JSON files as Eloquent data sources, eliminating the need for a traditional database in content-heavy scenarios. It supports the standard Eloquent query API (where, orderBy, find, whereContains), file-based relationships (belongsToPaper, hasManyPaper), and full CRUD operations that map directly to filesystem reads and writes. The package requires PHP 8.4 and Laravel 12.0+, uses PHP 8 attributes for configuration, and supports YAML frontmatter for metadata in Markdown files. 82 16 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/laravel-schema-sentinel-detect-and-fix-database-schema-drift-hmb4acjqr "Laravel Schema Sentinel: Detect and Fix Database Schema Drift") Article Laravel News · 20w Laravel Schema Sentinel: Detect and Fix Database Schema Drift Laravel Schema Sentinel is a new package that detects database schema drift by building a shadow database from your migration files and diffing it against your live database. It audits tables, columns, data types, nullability, defaults, indexes, and foreign keys. When drift is found, it can auto-generate corrective migrations with an interactive review mode. It also supports cross-environment comparison (e.g., local vs. staging), a programmatic Facade API, a Livewire visual health dashboard, and a pre-migration guard that blocks \`php artisan migrate\` if drift is detected. Compatible with Laravel 11.x through 13.x. 71 5 4. 4 [](https://daily.dev/posts/attach-addresses-to-any-eloquent-model-with-laravel-addressable-phcnhwulm "Attach Addresses to Any Eloquent Model with Laravel Addressable") Article Laravel News · 18w Attach Addresses to Any Eloquent Model with Laravel Addressable Laravel Addressable is a package that adds polymorphic address management to any Eloquent model via a single migration and trait. It supports general-purpose, billing, and shipping address types with dedicated traits and scoped helpers. Features include a JSON meta column for arbitrary extra data, a configurable display\_address accessor, primary address toggling with events, and geospatial support using a spatial POINT column for radius and nearest-neighbor queries (requires MySQL 8+, MariaDB 10.5+, or PostgreSQL with PostGIS). 62 5. 5 [](https://daily.dev/posts/generate-html-password-rules-attribute-in-laravel-13-9-0-uqcdta3hc "Generate HTML Password Rules Attribute in Laravel 13.9.0") Article Laravel News · 18w Generate HTML Password Rules Attribute in Laravel 13.9.0 Laravel 13.9.0 ships several new features. The headline addition is Password::toPasswordRulesString(), which converts a Password validation rule into an HTML passwordrules attribute string so browsers and password managers like Safari, 1Password, and Bitwarden can auto-generate compliant passwords. Other additions include Cloud queue metrics for job throughput telemetry, optional disk storage for SQS payloads exceeding the 1 MB limit (offloading to S3 via a pointer), Concurrency::run() timeout support for the process driver, PendingDispatch conditionable with when()/unless() for inline job configuration, a PreparesForDispatch interface for pre-dispatch hooks, a foreignUuidFor() schema blueprint helper, ThrottlesExceptions backoff accepting a Closure, and enum support for contextual attribute binding. 57 3 6. 6 [](https://daily.dev/posts/generate-livewire-skeleton-placeholders-automatically-with-wirebones-jsgeaypsw "Generate Livewire Skeleton Placeholders Automatically with Wirebones") Article Laravel News · 19w Generate Livewire Skeleton Placeholders Automatically with Wirebones Wirebones is a Laravel package that automatically generates skeleton placeholder Blade files for Livewire lazy-loaded components. It uses headless Chromium at build time to capture the rendered DOM of a component and produce a matching skeleton view, so placeholders stay in sync with the real layout without manual maintenance. Key features include responsive multi-breakpoint capture, Vite file-watcher integration for auto-rebuild, support for authenticated routes, and compatibility with Livewire's lazy, defer, and lazy.bundle modes. Chromium is only needed at build time — production servers serve the generated Blade files normally. 45 1 [See all Laravel News archives](/sources/ln/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/ln/best-of/2026/05#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/ln/best-of/2026/05","name":"Best Laravel News Posts — May 2026","description":"The most upvoted Laravel News posts from May 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/ln/best-of/2026/05#items","numberOfItems":6,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/laravel-brain-visualize-your-application-s-request-lifecycle-7nug7p59g","name":"Laravel Brain: Visualize Your Application's Request Lifecycle"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/laravel-paper-a-flat-file-eloquent-driver-de8wq2vd3","name":"Laravel Paper: A Flat-File Eloquent Driver"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/laravel-schema-sentinel-detect-and-fix-database-schema-drift-hmb4acjqr","name":"Laravel Schema Sentinel: Detect and Fix Database Schema Drift"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/attach-addresses-to-any-eloquent-model-with-laravel-addressable-phcnhwulm","name":"Attach Addresses to Any Eloquent Model with Laravel Addressable"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/generate-html-password-rules-attribute-in-laravel-13-9-0-uqcdta3hc","name":"Generate HTML Password Rules Attribute in Laravel 13.9.0"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/generate-livewire-skeleton-placeholders-automatically-with-wirebones-jsgeaypsw","name":"Generate Livewire Skeleton Placeholders Automatically with Wirebones"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Laravel News","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ln"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ln/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"May 2026"}]}]} ```
